Where is The High-Quality Development of The Aluminum Carbon Industry?

With the continuous development of the aluminum industry, the ceiling of China’s electrolytic aluminum production capacity has been formed, and the demand for aluminum carbon will enter a plateau period.

On September 14, the 2021 (13th) China Aluminum Carbon Annual Conference and Industry Upstream and Downstream Supply and Demand Matchmaking Conference was held in Taiyuan. The conference focused on major topics such as production capacity control, technological innovation, intelligent upgrading and international layout, and discussed the industry High-quality development direction.

This annual meeting was hosted by the Aluminum Carbon Branch of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, undertaken by the Nonferrous Metals Technology and Economic Research Institute Co., Ltd., and specially invited by Shanxi Liangyu Carbon Co., Ltd. to co-organize.

Chinalco Materials Co., Ltd., Suotong Development Co., Ltd., Shanxi Sanjin Carbon Co., Ltd., Beijing Inspike Technology Co., Ltd. and other enterprises as co-organizers supported the successful convening of the conference. Fan Shunke, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and Chairman of Aluminum Carbon Branch, Liu Yong, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Ling Yiqun, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy General Manager of China Petrochemical Corporation, China Aluminum Corporation Company President Zhu Runzhou, Former Vice President of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Wenxuan Jun, Director of Light Metals Department of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Li Defeng, Party Secretary and Executive Director of Nonferrous Metals Technology and Economic Research Institute Lin Ruhai, Vice President of Chinalco Materials, Yu Hua, National Nonferrous Metals Ma Cunzhen, Secretary-General of the Standardization Technical Committee, Zhang Hongliang, Chairman of Shanxi Liangyu Carbon Co., Ltd. and other leaders attended the meeting.

The opening ceremony of the meeting was presided over by Lang Guanghui, vice president of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and executive vice president of Aluminum Carbon Branch. Fan Shunke said that the industry has made significant progress in 2020.

One is the increase in output and export volume. In 2020, the output of aluminum anodes in my country is 19.94 million tons, and the output of cathodes is 340,000 tons, which is an increase of 6% year-on-year. Anode exports are 1.57 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 40%. Cathode exports are nearly 37,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10%;

The second is the continuous improvement of industry concentration. In 2020, there will be 15 enterprises with a scale of more than 500,000 tons, with a total output of more than 12.32 million tons, accounting for more than 65%. Among them, the scale of Aluminum Corporation of China has reached more than 3 million tons, and the development of Xinfa Group and Suotong has exceeded 2 million tons;

The third is a substantial increase in production efficiency. Xinfa Huaxu New Materials has achieved the goal of producing 4,000 tons of anodes per person per year, creating a world-leading labor productivity level;

Fourth, safety and environmental protection work has been further improved. The entire industry has achieved no major fire, explosion and personal injury accidents throughout the year, and the number of environmentally friendly A-type enterprises in the aluminum carbon industry has increased to 5.
